Reviews

Alyssa Montague ，

I read this book as an ARC through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review。 This book is interesting and not what I had initially thought it would be。 I have read a lot of research in this area， and instead this was more like a collection of true stories about how #metoo is being utilized to address women’s issues in different countries and how these countries have developed their own activism similar to the #metoo model。 Very interesting and I feel that I learned a lot。 Quick read。

I thought this book was excellent。 I read a lot of feminist literature and what made this stand out to me is its purposeful focus on countries other than the US， to show the far-reaching effects of the #metoo movement as well as to show how true gender parity cannot be achieved in isolation。 This is a true movement to equalize the sexes and it’s a battle being found around the world， not just in the US。 And even in the countries where the battle is seemingly already won， like Sweden， this book s I thought this book was excellent。 I read a lot of feminist literature and what made this stand out to me is its purposeful focus on countries other than the US， to show the far-reaching effects of the #metoo movement as well as to show how true gender parity cannot be achieved in isolation。 This is a true movement to equalize the sexes and it’s a battle being found around the world， not just in the US。 And even in the countries where the battle is seemingly already won， like Sweden， this book shows there is still much work to be done。 I thought the writing was really good and planned out and it’s clear through the many stories in each chapter that the authors did extensive research and spoke with many people during the writing process。 I love the focus on different countries， from countries where it’s perceived that women have few to no rights， like Egypt and Pakistan， to countries often known for their extreme liberalism and quality of life， like Sweden。 The prologue and epilogue were great， especially the epilogue and its 5 R’s for achieving true gender parity。 A 5 star read for me！ 。。。more
